“I chose LSSU expecting a very good engineering education. What I didn’t expect was faculty with real-world engineering experience and abilities, labs with real-world equipment, projects with real-world outcomes, and an entire campus staff with real interest in my success, as a student and yet today. My LSSU engineering education has created or supported every desired career opportunity. LSSU was absolutely the right place for me.”

Project Description:Process Measurement Device

The project focused on the design and build of an in-line prototype device to be used by industrial facilities to monitor the quality of cooling and lubricating fluids. Several properties of the fluid are measured such as temperature and contamination levels. The resulting data is collected, analyzed, and stored. The device incorporates a human interface using a liquid crystal display with push button inputs. Data is accessible through an Ethernet port, a USB connection or a secure digital card.

An engineer, like all professionals, must possess a well-developed ability to communicate, both orally and in writing. This competition is designed to emphasize the value of an ability to deliver oral presentations.
